Foggy Dew" is the name of several Irish ballads, and of an Irish lament. The most popular song of that name (written by Fr.Charles O'Neill) chronicles the Easter Rising of 1916, and encourages Irishmen to fight for the cause of Ireland, rather than for the British Empire, as so many young men were doing in World War I .
The Foggy Dew is known all over Britain, yet rarely seen in its full form in print, which is odd, for the song is eminently decent in its best traditional forms. It's not a drinking song, but it's often sung in drinking places. [5] The following lyrics are the first two verses as sung by Norfolk farmworker and traditional singer Harry Cox in 1953:
"Arthur McBride" – an anti-recruiting song from Donegal, probably originating during the 17th century.
